The family of an ex-FBI agent, who went missing in Iran in 2007, released five photographs that show him in an orange jumpsuit, with chains draped around his neck and wrists.

Bob Levinson disappeared from the Iranian island of Kish, where his family says he was investigating cigarette smuggling for a private client. He traveled there on March 8, 2007 and hasn't been seen since. His wife has said she believes he never left.

In one of the photos, Levinson holds up a sign that reads " Help Me." And in another a sign reads " I Am Here In Guantanamo Do you Know Where It Is?" He stands in front of a black background and has a long, white beard.
